This introduces the RFKill key: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives /wayland-devel/2017-August/034721.html - x11-proto needs a new release. This commit added RFKill, but it is not in a release: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xproto/commit/?id=98a32d328e7195e12c38baa877917335bceffbaf - Likely other X11 packages need to be rebuilt.
